Journal ArticleDOI
Rubisco without the Calvin cycle improves the carbon efficiency of developing green seeds
TL;DR: In developing embryos of Brassica napus L. (oilseed rape), Rubisco (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) acts without the Calvin cycle and in a previously undescribed metabolic context to increase the efficiency of carbon use during the formation of oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light Enables a Very High Efficiency of Carbon Storage in Developing Embryos of Rapeseed
TL;DR: It is concluded that light increases the growth, efficiency of carbon storage, and oil synthesis in developing rapeseed embryos primarily by providing reductant and/or ATP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon conversion efficiency and central metabolic fluxes in developing sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) embryos.
TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency with which developing sunflower embryos convert substrates into seed storage reserves was determined by labeling embryos with [U-14 C6]glucose or [U - 14 C5]glutamine and measuring their conversion to CO 2, oil, protein and other biomass compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon dioxide concentrations are very high in developing oilseeds
TL;DR: Developing rapeseed and soybean seeds were analyzed and found to have up to 40 and 12 mM total inorganic carbon, respectively, which are ca.
